Abstract

The article focuses on synthesizing scientific information to inform National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analyses, specifically addressing the effects of noise from oil and gas development on terrestrial wildlife, with a spotlight on ungulates and small mammals. It aims to support federal land management agencies by providing comprehensive insights into the environmental effects of proposed activities on public lands.

Abstract

Photosynthetic production of organic matter by microscopic oceanic phytoplankton fuels ocean ecosystems and contributes roughly half of the Earth's net primary production. For 13 years, the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) mission provided the first consistent, synoptic observations of global ocean ecosystems. Changes in the surface chlorophyll concentration, the primary biological property retrieved from SeaWiFS, have traditionally been used as a metric for phytoplankton abundance and its distribution largely reflects patterns in vertical nutrient transport. On regional to global scales, chlorophyll concentrations covary with sea surface temperature (SST) because SST changes reflect light and nutrient conditions. However, the oceanmay be too complex to be well characterized using a single index such as the chlorophyll concentration. A semi-analytical bio-optical algorithm is used to help interpret regional to global SeaWiFS chlorophyll observations from using three independent, well-validated ocean color data products; the chlorophyll a concentration, absorption by CDM and particulate backscattering. First, we show that observed long-term, global-scale trends in standard chlorophyll retrievals are likely compromised by coincident changes in CDM. Second, we partition the chlorophyll signal into a component due to phytoplankton biomass changes and a component caused by physiological adjustments in intracellular chlorophyll concentrations to changes in mixed layer light levels. We show that biomass changes dominate chlorophyll signals for the high latitude seas and where persistent vertical upwelling is known to occur, while physiological processes dominate chlorophyll variability over much of the tropical and subtropical oceans. The SeaWiFS data set demonstrates complexity in the interpretation of changes in regional to global phytoplankton distributions and illustrates limitations for the assessment of phytoplankton dynamics using chlorophyll retrievals alone.

11. Improving Conservation Outcomes with a New Paradigm for Understanding Species' Fundamental and Realized Adaptive Capacity

Author

Beever, Erik A., O'Leary, John, Mengelt, Claudia, West, Jordan M., Julius, Susan, Green, Nancy, Magness, Dawn, Petes, Laura, Stein, Bruce, Nicotra, Adrienne, Hellmann, Jessica J, Robertson, Amanda L., Staudinger, Michelle, Rosenberg, Andrew, Babij, Eleanora, Brennan, Jean, Schuurman, Gregor, Hofmann, Gretchen E., Beever, Erik A., O'Leary, John, Mengelt, Claudia, West, Jordan M., Julius, Susan, Green, Nancy, Magness, Dawn, Petes, Laura, Stein, Bruce, Nicotra, Adrienne, Hellmann, Jessica J, Robertson, Amanda L., Staudinger, Michelle, Rosenberg, Andrew, Babij, Eleanora, Brennan, Jean, Schuurman, Gregor, and Hofmann, Gretchen E.

Abstract

Worldwide, many species are responding to ongoing climate change with shifts in distribution, abundance, phenology, or behavior. Consequently, natural-resource managers face increasingly urgent conservation questions related to biodiversity loss, expansion of invasive species, and deteriorating ecosystem services. We argue that our ability to address these questions is hampered by the lack of explicit consideration of species' adaptive capacity (AC). AC is the ability of a species or population to cope with climatic changes and is characterized by three fundamental components: phenotypic plasticity, dispersal ability, and genetic diversity. However, few studies simultaneously address all elements; often, AC is confused with sensitivity or omitted altogether from climate-change vulnerability assessments. Improved understanding, consistent definition, and comprehensive evaluations of AC are needed. Using classic ecological-niche theory as an analogy, we propose a new paradigm that considers fundamental and realized AC: the former reflects aspects inherent to species, whereas the latter denotes how extrinsic factors constrain AC to what is actually expressed or observed. Through this conceptualization, we identify ecological attributes contributing to AC, outline areas of research necessary to advance understanding of AC, and provide examples demonstrating how the inclusion of AC can better inform conservation and natural-resource management.
